Q12. In Diana’s case,in #sexualcitizenships her sexual project was met with an intense need to relinquish her feminine role & led her to assault a close frnd. How can women feel empowered to channel their sexual needs/wants? #GWReproHealth
@NaturaleeB @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth A11H What struck me was which women fared "better." While all women in Gilead are subject to sexism and hierarchy, those cisgendered/more connected afforded more privilege that went on to determine their role and the role of their descendants in this new society. #GWReproHealth
@MariesaRobinson @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth #GWReproHealth A12H: Gilead had a major role in manufacturing culture/norms among women. Pitting women against each other is just a form of control, a way to manipulate and keep them at bay/limit their abilities
@NaturaleeB @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth A11H: The way Gilead's leaders treat women who are at a higher status (e.g., commander's wife) parallels the ways in which rights are limited today for even those women who are lucky enough not to be the subjects of rape, abuse, etc. #GWReproHealth
@AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth Q11H: Many ppl discuss HT as foreshadowing of what could happen under current administration/in the future. were there specific events/aspects of Gilead that made you think about our history & experiences women in marginalized populations endured? #GWReproHealth #GWpublichealth
@AjiaMcaferty @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth A10H: I love that you selected this quote!!! It made me think a lot when I had first read it. I think your question almost says it people should free FROM sexual violence and free TO make their our reproductive choices. #GWReproHealth
@AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth Q10H Aunt Lydia states that there is more than 1 kind of freedom - a freedom from and a freedom to - how does this relate to issues of reproductive rights and sexual violence? #GWReproHealth
@_MiRP @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth A8H- simply put, I think both groups are absolutely terrified and don’t know what to do, and don’t know who to trust. #GWReproHealth
@_MiRP @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth A8H: I think patients and handmaids both end up considering power dynamics and “it’s my word against yours”. Society does a great job of excusing those in power & that leaves victims thinking coming forth just isn’t worth it, or that they won’t be taken seriously #GWReproHealth
@_MiRP @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth A8H I think both groups of women face broken trust, fear, and the feeling that they can't disclose this to anyone. The guest speaker at class brought up a lot of these things last week, sharing that most doctors don't face retribution just like those in the book #GWReproHealth
@_MiRP @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth A8H: Offred's life would have also been on the line if she reported, but if this was found out w/out her reporting, she'd be in a similar sticky situation. This parallels today's harassment culture and how women are truly stuck between a rock and a hard place #GWReproHealth
@AmitaNVyas @TheRachelLoyd @GWpublichealth Q12G. What is your opinion of some parents stressing chastity and giving promise rings to children, mainly girls, hoping that they stay virgins until marriage? #GWReproHealth
@AimaPHPro @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth #GWReproHealth says something interesting about women's and repro health in terms of sacrifice. SRH has always been a punching bag and something that has been treated differently than other types of political issues. These can be broken (eggs) for what is "common good" (omelet)
@UnnatiPatel48 @AmitaNVyas @TheRachelLoyd @GWpublichealth Q9G: I think another part of this is reducing costs for reproductive health care, especially contraception. The girls might not have access to money on their own as a coercive act by their pimp, and reducing these barriers could empower more girls to take control #GWReproHealth
@deanna_depietro @Simply_CoGo @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth Good point! Is there any modern examples you can think of? I feel like congressional leaders are slipping in certain requirements or passing policies on the sly so that x makes the news while y does not. A sure fire way to pass extremist policy. #GWReproHealth
@DakotaStaren @AmitaNVyas @GWpublichealth A7G I think again we bring in the fact that a lot of people see those who are sexually exploited as it being a choice versus coercion or forcing individuals into these situations. #GWReproHealth
@Simply_CoGo @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth A7H I personally don't find it very realistic, b/c while the religious right are powerful they are a minority in the US. That said, I do think we are a pretty apathetic society, and that makes something like this more possible. #GWReproHealth
@AmitaNVyas @TheRachelLoyd @GWpublichealth Q10G: We all agree that there is an issue with trafficking revolving around stigma and lack of empathy towards the victims. What steps would you like to see as public health professionals and individuals to reduce these barriers to understanding? #GWReproHealth
@DeekshitaRaman1 @AmitaNVyas @HandmaidsOnHulu @MargaretAtwood @GWpublichealth A6H: women are still seen as “inadequate” when they are infertile or even when they choose not to reproduce. Fertility is still very much linked to womanhood. #GWReproHealth
@UnnatiPatel48 @AmitaNVyas @TheRachelLoyd @GWpublichealth A9G It almost makes me think of vans that go around to areas for users to exchange their needles for clean ones-- in this case, use this outreach to provide condoms, outreach, and info about/opportunities to get LARCs #GWReproHealth
